Reactions of Grignard reagents RMgX (R = Me, Et, Pr, Bu; X = Br, I) with 1,3-dicyanoadamantane (1) were studied. Optimum conditions for the synthesis of monoaddition products of Grignard reagents to compound 1 were established. The first stage of the reaction of cyanoadamantane 1 with MeMgBr was studied by the MNDO-PM3 method. According to calculations, the more preferable reaction mechanism involves formation of a six-membered cyclic intermediate containing two Mg atoms, two C atoms, and one Br and one N atom.
